We have phishing training at work. the IT security department sends phishing emails which has a link which if you click goes back to the security department to record that you failed, and you have to go back to phishing school again. .

I clicked on the link this week because I was in a meeting, and also during work, because the meeting was in listen only, and the email came in and I wasn't focused enough to realize that it was a phishing email . . . it can happen,

and yes, they come in a random times, and they hope to catch you off guard, or to pre occupied to apply critical thinking skills. .

So back to phishing school for me. . . and i noticed the fake easily last year. . .
